BALTIMORE. December 10 The morn
ing session of the American Fedenton
of Labor was resumed by the introduce
ton OF almost innumerable resolutions
on various subjects One was to boycott
one w. l.. Douglass, shoe manuinc-
turer. Another WAS protest from
the Cigar Makers international Union
AGAINST the reduction Of the Internal
revenue tax on tobacco. The Oyster
mems Union want law prohibiting the
use of oysters that are not three years
old. The Progressive iailors' Union ask
official endorsement for their label, and
several trades want Congress to pass
law that will prevent the employment OF
men enlisted in the army or navy
in any capacity where skilled labor
can he used. A dispatch was
received by the convention from
the president OF the international Typo
graphical Union appointing w. Il.
Oyster as q delegate from the union.
Mr.. Oyster was on Tuesday refused adj
mission as a representative of the FEEDER
alton of Trades of the District OF Column
bia. and a lengthy discussion arose as to
the propriety of admitting him to-day,
even as a representative OF the Typo
graphical Union. Mr.. Oyster had some
friends on the floor, but his hopes were
again crushed, as his appointment was
held over until he could secure creden-
tails bearing the seal of the international
Union, with signature of president ana
secretary, which could not possibly be
obtained this week.
The afternoon session was consumed
by the consideration of the report OF the
Committee on Constitution. AN effort
10 draw the line between skilled and I'M
skilled labor was stigmatized as the cause
OF the disintegration of the knights oil
Labor, aud motion 10 strike out the
words "labor organization where 1t
occurs in the constitution and the use OF
the term "tradcs unions exclusively
was voted down.
A motion to compel all organizations
to obtain charters from the federation
one month before the meeting Of the
convention occasioned considerable do
bate and warm opposition from repre-
sentatiyes Of the International Typogra-
phical Union, who declared that their
old and influential organization would
under no circumstances come TO the
federation for charter, and was
amended to read certificate of member
ship instead OF charter and passed.
The question OF equitable representa-
ton was the cause OF long discussion.
Some delegates held that the national
and international bodies were entitled TO
a voice in the affairs Of the federation,
while others were of the opinion that
central labor unions and local trades
assemblies we're the maiDstay of the labor
reform movement, aud il was voted that
such organizations be allowed represen.
tation according 10 their numerical
strength. even though the same trades
may be indirectly represented by

ROBBENG UNCLE SAM.
An Ola Swindiing Game worked nj
the Cincinnati Sub-Treasury.

A Cincinnati special says The Office
of the Sub Treasury in the Government
building was entered by an apparently
respectable man and woman yesterday
morning The gentleman, stepping for
ward, asked the Sub Treasurer assist
ant, MIR. Munson, to oblige him with
large bills for $1,000 in notes of smaller
denomination. He complied with there
quest, but found after they left that they
had secured $500 more than was their
right. He Immediately followed, but
could not find them in the crowded
streets. They were seen to separate ut
the nearest corner, each going in a ditfe-
rent direction. The secret service men
were put on the case within five minutes,
but as yet have found no trace of the
pair. The latter seemed perfectly fani-
liar with the Office, even so much as to
speak of one of the officials who was not
present.
An hour later q well.dressed gentle
man ordered gold watch OF Dunno *
Co.. jewellers, at Fourth and Walnut
streets, block away, requesting that 1t
be sent to his room, where he would pay
for it on delivery. The messenger vas
given a certified check on the Franklin
Bank, which WAS found TO be bogus.
The landady from whom the room was
rented states that the swindler had
secured it from her scarcely an hour be-
fore. The same swindle WAS worked on
Wilmot j. Hall & Co., Charles Smith *
Co., and A. a. Bennett d Co., the total
amount secured being in the neighbor-
hood of $500. He also secured $500
from a Third-street merchant 10y the
same means. The swindler is young
man of good appearance. That he Is
adept at his trade is established when 1t
is known that the swindles were accom-
plished within a few hours and i'll DIFF
fercnt parts Of the city. The checks in
each case were drawn on the same bank,
the cashiers name being forged. The
operator is the same who recently worked
in Chicago. New York, and Philadelphia.

WHAT rs THoraur IN VIENNA.

VIENNA, December l5.-An article
which appeared in the st. Petersburg
Ifiltdry ReUieu to-day on the military
movements of Russia and her neighbors
has excited great attention here in Off
cial circles. The opinion is expressed
that the article will cause no change IN
the attitude of Austria. The Govern
ment, it is believed, before taking ac-
lively responsive measures In defence
will wait to see whether Russia continues
her threatening military preparations.
A long interview ringthe week between
Count Kalnoky and the German Ambas-
sador led to accord between the two Go
vernments on the decision OF the Austrian
Military Council. The serious character
OF the situation has never been under
estimated in Austrian official circles.
The Government has never been I'M
mindful OF the duties which the German
alliance imposes, and in the face
OF the Russian ornaments the au-
thorities have never, for moment
been idle, Int tue Government is
anxious 10 avoid as long as possible
measures capable OF being interpreted
by Russia as acts of proyocation. IRE
partitions are complete for the dispatch
OF reinforcements of cavalry to ualicla
in the event of.fresh moyements OF Rus
sian troops. The erection OF nuts Is
